Burning Utah mine has been cited for possible fire hazards 3 times within past 18 months, records show -- including one in May
In January and February of 2021 and again in May of this year, the mine failed to erect an adequate firewall between the coal or other combustibles and unattended motors or electrical equipment, according to citations published by the U.S. Department of Labor.
What type of fire is burning will influence how to extinguish it. Xu said if mine operators can determine methane levels are low, firefighters could be sent in to extinguish the blaze – if the fire isn’t burning too hot.
